Tech Talk Submission
Thanks for offering to give a talk at a Tech Talks meeting! We just need a bit of information from you.
Your Name
Matt Henry
What's your talk title?
Functional Programming in JavaScript
What's your talk about?
The talk will cover:
- A little bit of the history of JS to show where it got its FP roots
- features of the JavaScript language that support FP idioms (closures, first-class functions,
map/filter/reduce) - basic library-less implementation of FP concepts like function composition
- (possibly) a bit about how popular libraries like React & Redux are based on FP concepts, so you might be getting some benefits of FP even if you didn't realize it!
How long is your talk?
- Lightning talk (5-10 minutes)
- Short tech talk (20-25 minutes)
- Long tech talk (40-50 minutes)
Do you have any preferred dates for it?
3/29 works. Otherwise, no preference.
Todo for the MC:
- Update the TTS Guilds calendar entry for this talk to add the talk details.
- Request captioning
- Announce the talk(s) in #tech-talks, #dev, #18f, #18f-dev-announce when date is set
- Announce the talk(s) in same channels on Slack in the morning, and follow up with a reminder just before they're about to begin.
- Upload video and transcript to Google Drive.
